The first time of Anuga in Cologne, in 1924, the number of exhibitors had already grown to 360. With around 40,000 visitors this Anuga was the best edition since its inception.

In 1951, over 1,200 exhibitors from 34 countries participated, making Anuga the leading international business platform for the food industry. Over time, the exhibition transformed from a platform dedicated to food and processing into a trade fair specializing in food & beverage. With its 7,405 exhibitors and approximately 165,000 specialized visitors, Anuga is today the reference event of the international food & beverage industry and tells the success story of all the participants.

Anuga is synonymous with variety and internationality. The consolidated concept of “10 specialized salons under one roof”, originally proposed by Anuga, guarantees top buyers from all over the world a more transparent division and ease of visit. Every single specialized salon is unique and sometimes even a leader in the segment to which it belongs. This particular mix of market leaders and small and medium-sized companies makes Anuga the most international and varied fair in the world
